Patent EP-0812653-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHWEIZER ANTON
IPC: B23Q7/04
Filed: 1997-03-07
Abstract: The method described uses a machine tool (10) which is equipped with a rotating spindle (26) to which is connected a grip mechanism (31) for holding the workpiece (23). The machine tool has a cradle arrangement (12) located below the spindle which can move and be fixed in position about an axis which is at 90 degrees to the spindle axis. During operation of the machining process, the cradle holds the workpiece in a clamped first position. The grip mechanism on the spindle then removes the workpiece from the cradle and holds it free of the cradle. The empty cradle is then moved to a second position and the workpiece is rotated by the spindle. The workpiece is then reinserted into the cradle and clamped again for further machining.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward obtaining a
rebound restriction function at least equivalent to the
conventional mount in which a separate rebound stopper is
fitted in a later stage, while eliminating the separate
rebound stopper. Inner (1) and outer (2) cylinders are coupled to
each other through a rubber elastic body (3). A pressure receiving
room (5) in which a liquid is encapsulated is formed in a lower
part. A balancing room (6) in which a liquid and an air are
encapsulated is formed in an upper part. Both the rooms are
communicated with each other through orifice passages (7). The
balancing room is defined, in a manner of being unchangeable
in capacity, by the inner periphery of the outer cylinder and
a rebound receiving part formed by bending an upper portion
of an intermediate cylinder (4) toward the inner cylinder. A
rebound stopper portion (33) and the rubber elastic body are formed
into one piece. The rubber elastic body is formed through
curing under a structure integral with the inner and
intermediate cylinders so that the top end surface of the
rebound stopper portion can be made contact with but cannot
be adhered to the inner periphery of the rebound receiving
part. The mount is mounted between an engine and a car body
so that the inner cylinder is changed in position downward
through load of the weight of the engine. Thereby, the rebound
stopper portion is changed in position downward by a set amount
of rebound-side change of position of the inner cylinder.

Abstract: An image signal representing the data picked up from
an original is input from the input terminal and stored in
the memory. A feature data extracting circuit produces a
density value histogram showing the number of pixels
(distribution frequency) with respect to density level in
accordance with the image data stored in the memory. The
feature data extracting circuit extracts the modal density
value 1p and a quotient per1 which is obtained by dividing
the number of pixels relating to this density value 1p by
the total number of pixels used for preparation of the
histogram, as feature data for recognizing the features of
an original. From these two pieces of feature data, the
original is recognized as text, photography or other
features, and based on a density correction table selected
in accordance with the recognition, a density correcting
circuit performs density correction of the input image
signal to output the result from the output terminal.

IPC: B41J2/01
Filed: 1994-04-28
Abstract: Images are printed using marks formed in pixel arrays
by a scanning print head. For transparent and glossy
media, with poor absorbance, drying is enhanced by a
multipass (preferably six-pass) print mode in which the
total number of ink drops or spot is allocated among
correspondingly multiple masks, though some may be duplicates.
To further hasten drying, heat is applied --through
the medium, from the opposite side as that on
which ink is deposited -- but the amount of heat is
strictly moderated, particularly for nontransparent glossy
media, to accommodate the hypersensitivity of these media
to heat-induced warping. Heating for glossy media is
preferably restricted to about one-third the power used
for drying plain paper. Convective drying too is promoted,
by operating a fan over the printed image. Certain
special techniques well-suited for plain-paper printing
have been found undesirable for use with plastic media;
these techniques include so-called "resolution-enhanced
technology", bidirectional printing (particularly of
black), and optical-density controlled printing speed. At
top and bottom of each page or sheet of printing medium,
where it is undesirable to operate with the pen partly off
the edge of the sheet, and where also the printing medium
is constrained from only one direction rather than being
held taut beneath the pen, the print mask is rotated while
the printing medium is held stationary -- thereby entirely
avoiding reliance upon accuracy of print-medium advance.

IPC: B62L1/14
Filed: 1997-09-16
Abstract: A bicycle brake device (1) brakes a wheel (2) by
pressing first and second opposing brake shoes (13a,
13b) against the wheel (2) in response to operation of
a control cable (10) having an inner cable (10a) that
moves in first and second directions relative to an
outer casing (10b). The first brake link (12a) includes
a first support component (16a) for swingably mounting
the first brake link (12a) to the bicycle, a first shoe
attachment component (17a), and an outer stop component
(27) for fixing the outer casing (10b) of the control
cable (10). The second brake link (12b) includes a
second support component (16b) for swingably mounting
the second brake link (12b) to the bicycle and a second
shoe attachment component (17b). An inner cable
receiving mechanism (19, 70) is coupled to the second
brake link (12b) for receiving the inner cable (10a) so
that the second brake link (12b) moves in response to
movement of the inner cable (10a), wherein the inner
cable receiving mechanism (19, 70) includes a movement
variation mechanism for varying the rate of movement of
the second brake link (12b) per unit movement of the
inner cable (10a). A transmission mechanism extends
between the first brake link (12a) and the second brake
link (12b) so that movement of the inner cable (10a)
causes movement of both the first brake link (12a) and
the second brake link (12b).

Abstract: A computer program or a computer process is instrumented by replacing a native
computer instruction with a trapping computer instruction which is the size of the native
computer instruction and which, when executed, causes a trap to the kernel. A trap handler in
the kernel determines that the inserted trapping computer instruction caused the trap and
transfers control to a user trap handler. The user trap handler maps the trap site to a patch of
instrumentation computer instructions. When the trapping computer instruction is executed, the
trap handler transfers control from the kernel to the user trap handler which in turn transfers
control to the patch. As a result, processing can be transferred from a source address of the
computer process to a destination address of the computer process which is further from the
source address than can be reached by a branching computer instruction of the size of the
replaced native computer instruction. Native computer instructions in sufficient proximity to
corresponding patches of instrumentation computer instructions can be replaced with branching
computer instructions of the size of the native computer instruction and which transfer control to
those corresponding patches. Other native computer instructions are replaced with trapping
computer instructions which transfer control to corresponding patches through traps to the
kernel. The user trap handler handles unanticipated traps particularly efficiently by mapping all
trap sites other than those corresponding to inserted trapping computer instructions to a default
patch which processes unanticipated traps. Therefore, anticipated traps are not slowed by logic
verifying that the trap is anticipated. Native computer instructions which are a single byte in
length are replaced with a selected, single-byte, privileged computer instruction, e.g., HALT, and
the kernel trap handler transfers control to the user trap handler if a trap is caused by the selected
privileged computer instruction and a user trap handler is installed. Efficiency is transferring
control of a computer process through a trap to the kernel is further improved by doing
substantially no more in response to a trap to the kernel than retrieving information regarding the
state of the computer process prior to the trap, making that information accessible to the
computer process, and transferring control back to the computer process.

Abstract: An anti-tamper integrated circuit (IC)
apparatus is adapted for use with an IC that carries
an active component, such as a secure processor,
which requires a constant power signal to operate.
If the power signal is interrupted, data is erased
from a volatile memory of the secure processor. The
memory is located within the IC package. An
external power signal is coupled to the memory via a
conductive path which is carried outside the housing
and which may be embedded in a decoder board, micro-module
substrate, or smart card body in which the IC
is carried. The conductive path may carry the power
signal directly to the memory, or it may carry the
power signal to bias a transistor. Removal of the
IC package from the decoder board, micro-module
substrate or smart card, will open the conductive
path and interrupt the power signal to the memory by
causing a short circuit or an open circuit. As a
result, the data stored in the memory will be lost.
The apparatus therefore deters a pirate from
tampering with the IC.
